Cottage - a wonderful place!
Together with adults enjoy the nature and our children.
So that they do not get bored, we offer several ideas that will make the rest of the younger members of your family more exciting.
Young agronomist
Usually it is not difficult for adults to allocate a small piece of land in a garden to a child.
Give him safe tools, offer a choice of seeds of easy-care plants, remind you of timely weeding and watering.
Soon the works will be rewarded. The kid can decorate the garden at its discretion.
Let him build a fence from splinters, or lay out grooves with flat pebbles, install his toys as garden figures, whatever!
Children's fantasy knows no bounds. No free beds - no problem. You can fill any container from the old bucket to the egg shell with earth. All this can be decorated to plant and enjoy the original idea.
Ornithologist
Bird watching is an interesting, useful activity and does not require complicated preparations. You need a pair of feeders, a bag of seeds and a little patience. If the house has binoculars - great!
Let the child pour the seeds and bread crumbs into the bird's dining room, rememberor taking pictures of "visitors", and in the evening look together who flew to the trough, read about these birds in the encyclopedia or the Internet.
Make a diary of observations with photographs or drawings. You can keep statistics on how many birds and at what time arrives to feed.
Entomologist
Not all children tend to quietly observe.
For the most active sports fishing butterflies.
I do not call to put them on a pin and dry. You just need to catch a butterfly with a butterfly net.
If you hit - this time, caught another - this is two!
You can arrange a competition, catch only butterflies of a certain color, make a table of records, and in between cases memorize the names of these wonderful creatures.
Florist
More suitable for girls, but, as practice shows, boys also love to give mothers flowers. That's fine! Let the child make bouquets of wild flowers, decorate the rooms and the porch with them.
Give children cans of water; an empty box will serve as a counter. Now you can open a floristry shop. For sale are suitable not only bouquets, but also floral wreaths, bracelets, necklaces.
Potter
The village is a place where, with high probability, you can find deposits of clay. Let the children make pots, cups, bowls, toys from it.
It is not at all necessary to prepare this clay qualitatively. This is not so important. The main process!
Products can be dried in a cooling stove or just in the sun. And if you capture paints from the city, it will be even more interesting. Finished products can be used for games, or arrange an exhibition.
Aviator
What could be more interesting than designing and launching paper airplanes.
They can be folded from any paper, painted in any colors and run in any quantities.
Arrange competitions for range or flight accuracy, organize a squadron review, open an air show.
Do not forget that at the end of the game you need to collect airplanes. Do not pollute the nature!
Musician
If your summer cottage is located away from the neighbors, then it is quite possible to allow the child to develop their musical abilities.
Stretch a rope between two trees, having previously fixed everything on it from which it is possible to extract sound: an old frying pan, a saucepan, a kettle, cans, empty bottles.
Give out the wand to the child and inform him that he is a musician. For some time with this wand, he will have a merry rumble of "musical instruments." Yes, loud, but he will like it!
Archaeologist
If construction work is being done at the dacha and there is a cement mixture, then this is just a treasure!
Fill the solution with a large amount of sand into a shallow flat container, add various interesting objects there, wait until it solidifies. Everything! The excavation kit is ready.
Give the children hammers, old paint brushes and something that can act as a chisel. Children are busy, parents are calm. However, remember that for small children such an activity can be fraught with injuries.
Sportsman
Ball! Universal toy for all times.
Football, volleyball, bouncer ... But there are few ball games.
I offer you a summer version of bowling.
A few empty plastic bottles of water will replace the pins, the bowling ball will be a regular ball.
Arrange the skittles on the garden path and enjoy the game!
Architect
Not always in the country there are the necessary toys - it does not matter. With a slight movement of the saw, dry branches and snags turn into an entertaining designer.
From it you can build houses, towers and even entire rural settlements for charming floral inhabitants. Remember how pupae were made from thin twigs and dandelions? Teach the kids!
